Singers Perfect Inhale
-
Diaphragmatic breathing is a singers best friend. Diaphragmatic breathing, if done right, is your key to all the shades of vocal ability: power, delicacy, sustaining long notes, easy high notes and much more. Diaphragmatic breathing begins with your inhale.
If you take singing lessons, you know there are different theories about how to inhale. Through the nose, through the mouth and the nose, through just the mouth, press the ribcage out, press the belly out and on and on and on!
In my contemporary vocal method, Sing Like You Speak, the rule for any point of technique is ASAP or as simple as possible. Your inhale should open the instrument from top to bottom – quite literally.
Take a look at this video series from my SingLikeYouSpeak YouTube channel for lots more information about and demonstration of a simple inhale. Enjoy!

Hi Sally,
I just stumbled upon your website and I think it is awesome and very helpful. However, I wanted to let you know that I was surprised to hear you say “drownding” instead of drowning. Growing up with an English teacher for a mother has made me very sensitive to grammar and pronunciation and I had to let you know about this. My grammar is not perfect mind you but if I had a video out and made a mistake like this I would want to know. I’m thinking about signing up and don’t want to get off on the wrong foot with you but I think this is something you might probably want to know about. I’m writing this with utmost respect for you and I hope you take it in the manner it was meant because I think you’re terrific and you could probably help me a lot! Thank you, Heidi
